SnubbAir
It looks like a winch. It mounts like a winch. It cranks like a winch. It’s not a winch.
First designed to solve a deck layout challenge unique to the J/70, the Harken SnubbAir 
might look like a smaller, more efficient version of the winch it replaces. But the product 
has so many potential applications it defies classification as a winch. 
It could act more like a really large ratcheting foot, cheek block, or even a ratcheting line 
diverter in the pit. The SnubbAir provides lots of line-holding power even without a winch 
handle. That muscle could become very popular on an A Scow or a powered-up sport boat 
where the spinnakers can be more than a handful. Even better, you can just flip the sheet 
off the drum and jibe. If you need even more holding power, wrap the sheet around the 
SnubbAir twice or use a winch handle with the optional adapter.
SnubbAir comes with four integral threaded studs placed to precisely match the bolt 
pattern of the B8A winch on the J/70 deck. Start-to-finish, swapping out winches for 
SnubbAirs takes less than 10 minutes. All washers and Nylok® nuts required for mounting 
are included.
Use the optional winch handle 
adapter to crank the SnubbAir 
like a winch.
The SnubbAir is smaller and lighter 
than the winch it replaces.
